Default Over 500 PSTs on 1 PC

Assuming the data was migrated correctly then it should function as before.
Is there any Antivirus software intergrated with Outllook, or any other new
addins

Not withstanding this a pst, a not a replacement for user created folders
and as such the user should be instructed, after all how much time can it
take to work though 6 at a time. As it is a receipe for data loss, and then
the user will have considerable downtime, whilst the data is being rebuilt

I have a user who's been migrated to a new machine. Her old one was a
Dell GX270 with about 256MB RAM and XP SP2 and Outlook 2003. The new HP
has the same software, but has 2GB RAM and is a new dual-core job.

The user has 563 PSTs. I wish I were exagerrating. She literally has
some of these with 1 email in them. She has all of them "opened" in
outlook (By that I mean she has them loaded, but not all are expanded).
And... surprise, surprise, she's getting a lot of corruption in the
PSTs, giving her problems opening emails and personal folders
constantly.

Here's the kicker: The original machine runs them just fine. It's old
and slow, but it chugs along and doesn't seem plagued with this issue.
She has all of the files open in the same manner, and works.

Intensely frustrating, let me tell you. She refuses to believe that
having 563 PSTs open is a bad thing because they work on the old
machine.

So, has anyone ever seen anything of this caliber? Any suggestions? The
obvious one of "Close them" isn't an option at this time, and merging
them down isn't either. This user claims not to have time, and keeps
referring back to the old machine where her setup has worked for 3
years.
